HMRC plans new Portsmouth HQ
HMRC is to move to a new 60,000 sq ft HQ in Portsmouth at No.1 The Goodsyard, part of a new development on Station Street.
The £45m Child Graddon Lewis-designed scheme of the former Matalan car park is being developed by Welbeck CP and Coplan Estates. It will be HMRC’s 14th regional centre and will accommodate some 1,250 HMRC and Marine Management Organisation employees in the city, an increase of more than 350 full-time roles.
The government body will move from its current leasehold offices at Lynx House in Cosham.

Jim Harra, HMRC’s chief executive and first permanent secretary, said: “No.1 The Goodsyard will deliver a high-quality, modern and accessible working environment ensuring we are equipped to meet our customers’ and employees’ needs.”
Once completed, HMRC will buy the building’s freehold and, together with the MMO, occupy the majority of the four-storey office. Staff are expected to move in late 2027.
HMRC’s other regional centre locations are Belfast, Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, Croydon, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle, Nottingham and Stratford.
